DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2021.102921
Abstract: Global warming and intensifying extreme heat events may affect avian reproductive success and costs, particularly in hot, arid environments. It is unclear how breeding birds alter their behaviour in response to rapid climate change, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msz235
Abstract: Abstract Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) mediate an array of postmating reproductive processes that influence fertilization and fertility. As such, it is widely held that SFPs may contribute to postmating, prezygotic reproductive barriers between closely related… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.00205-22
Abstract: Passerine-associated S. Typhimurium strains have been linked to human salmonellosis outbreaks in recent years. Here, we investigated the phylogenetic relationship of globally distributed passerine isolates and profiled their genomic similarity and diversity. ABSTRACT Salmonella enterica… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.847030
Abstract: Isospora infections are common in both wild and captive passerine species. Many bird species have been shown to have co-evolved with a particular species of Isospora. Disease can range from subclinical to severe and fatal,… read more here.

DOI: 10.5751/ace-00934-120102
Abstract: Migratory bird species breeding in the Palearctic and overwintering in sub-Saharan Africa face multiple conservation challenges. As a result, many of these species have declined in recent decades, some dramatically. We therefore used the best… read more here.
